The A.S. Watson-owned retailer says the move was the result of close collaboration with global suppliers

The A.S. Watson Group has announced that its Watsons retail chain will launch more than 1,600 Sustainable Choices products both in store and online.

The launch is said to be the result of close collaboration with Watsons’ global supplier partners, including Beiersdorf, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Kao, L’Oréal, Procter & Gamble, Reckitt, Shiseido and Unilever.

“Many customers started to rethink their priorities due to the pandemic and they’re very much aware of the impact their choices have on the environment and society,” said Malina Ngai, CEO of A.S. Watson (Asia & Europe).

“We’ve been working closely with our strategic supplier partners to offer a wide range of Sustainable Choices products – everything from skin care to shampoo – making it easier for customers to make purchase decisions that contribute to a better world for all.”

The Hong Kong-headquartered company explains that the products are easily identifiable both in store and via the Sustainable Choices section on the Watsons online store.
